Ahmed
Al-Bayati, PhD, PE
Associate Professor
Founding Director - Construction Safety Research Center (CSRC)
Underground Utilities for Construction Practitioners and Homeowners

Dr. Al-Bayati is the founding director of the Construction Safety Research Center (CSRC) and an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. Before joining LTU, Dr. Al-Bayati was an assistant professor at the Kimmel School of Construction Management at Western Carolina University.

He earned his Ph.D. in Construction Engineering from Western Michigan University in 2017. He also received a master’s degree in construction management from East Carolina University in 2013 and a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Babylon University in 2003.

His research focuses on construction safety and underground utility management, emphasizing safety culture & climate, incident investigation, integrating technology into traditional practices, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), and reducing utility strikes. He employs various methods to collect, analyze, and interpret qualitative and quantitative data, with particular expertise in survey methodologies to gather insights from target populations. His work aims to optimize processes, reduce occupational injuries, and improve utility management through innovative and practical solutions.

Dr. Al-Bayati’s research findings have been featured in various reputable publications, including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, ASCE’s Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, the National Safety Council’s (NSC) Journal of Safety Research, and the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Professional Safety Journal. He has authored or co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings. He has delivered presentations at conferences worldwide, including international, national, and regional events.
